A butter dish or a caviar dish, that's up to you; composed of the most classic two elements: a circular saucer (13cm in diameter) and a dome 9cm high, but which can be uncovered by holding the thin stem of an apple. This object is functional but also elegant and playful, attributed to the designer Lino Sabattini, half of this apple will liven up and play down your 'mise en place'. The item is in good vintage condition but has two slight dents visible in the photos. Reach out for any questions. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
